This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I'm assigning this to Core because this request-for-enhancement is distributed throughout multiple components and I didn't know which ones to contact. My suggestion is that instead of displaying constructors as functions with class names and associated packages, you also include the full function signature. Right now when I view the CONSTRUCTORS node in Explorer -> Class X -> Constructors, it will list 5-6 constructors which are seemingly identical (since they share the same package and class name) however their arguments differ but Netbeans does not display this. This problem occurs in EXPLORER and Component Browser to name two but I'm sure it's experienced elsewhere in the program. Could you please CC this request to the various netbeans component groups you are aware of that would be affected by this request. Thanks you :)
reassigning to java and ccing clazz
Agreed - the "Constructors" node is not much useful without this info :-)
Thanks for this suggestion -- I found at that the IDE serializes default values for various options during the first start, making them indistinguishable from user customizations during following sessions :-( I couldn't change the default format in any other way than versioning the settings object :-(( Implemented for 3.2.16, dev-157. The change will affect all constructor presentations deriving from the default ones.
[release32-20] Verified
Target milestone -> 3.2
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
